JOB. 14:-Man that voteth against
local option is Of few days and full
Of trouble.
He cometh forth to defeat it and
is himself defeated. II he be a Dem
ocrat he seeketh sympathy by cry
ing aloud, saying stn- Democratic.
When told that the bill was gotten
up by Democrat, passed by a Dem
ocratic legislature and signed by q
Democratic governor, he is put to
silence.
Yea, our own Senator Mackay re-
proves him, and be is very silent.
After this he appeareth as a mar
tyr ami lamenteth that his rights are
being taken from him. ellis Repub.
lican brother IN the cause joins him
here right lustlly.)
They receive reply from SOBER
minded people that putteth them to
shame and maketh them to feel like
Kicking themselves.
And after these things he cries
out unconstitutional; he seeketh
foundation for this statement, but
findeth none; wiser men, and men
higher in authority than he deny
this; besides this he dent believe it
himself, for he could let it pass and
prove it so (if it were SOY cheaper
than he could defeat it.
Then, being sorely yexed, he as
saults the preachers and the
churches for opposing him; but they
know that their cause is just, and
being clad with the habiliments of
American citizenship, press right on:
In his anger he calleth them "hyp-
ocrites and lars" but they con-
slder the source and are nothing
daunted.
He then decIareth that the cause
Of local option is declining, but in
his heart feels that this Is only de-
Iuslve hope.
In the agony Of despair he read
eth the returns from twenty-four
counties and finds that three have
defeated local option; he hopes that
Charlton county may do likewise,
but this IS vanity and vexation of
spirit. He declares that the law
can't be enforced il carried, and
thereby admits that with his constit-
uencY there is an element whose
love Of saloons and rum, though con-
trary to law, Is stronger than their
love Of sobriety ard right in accor-.
dance with law.
As the whisky vanishes from a
drunkard's jug, and peace, hap2l-4
ness and prosperity fieeth from 8
drunkard's household; so he per-
ceiveth that the number Of "anti"
men are steadily decreasing, and as
the day dawns IN which he Is to cast
his ballot ''for the sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors." he feels that defeat is
his.
In great distress he sees his cause
die unwept, and unhonored, save by
himself alone. Are his days so num-
bered? And IS there yet any hope9
There is none.
But II he will turn from his idols
and cast his vote "against the sale
uf intoxicating liquors" and thereby
help to do away with the open sa-
loon, and with it drunkenness, de-
bauchery, misery, poverty and
crime, IL he will cast his vote in q
way that will help the drunkard to
reform, the moderate drinker to
cease entirely, and that will help
our boys to grow up into sober,
moral and industrious young men,
then shall his days be sober in the
land, and his family. and not has
family only 6,st has friends and has
also shall rise up and call
him blessed.

UNLESS the ggEs arc very misleading
the bridge project Is in very critical con.
dition. The representatives Of capital are
hers saying that they will undertake to
build the bridge on torms which are not
only fair but liberal. As one objection after
another has bOcn raised they have yield
ed. NoT they present their ultimatum
and say, On these termH We will build the
bridge. At this point thoy arc mot with
proposition not apparently thought Of
before and, we believe, lsss advantageous
to us than the proposition offered by the
capitalists. There is something in all this
which tho public does not understand, and
no statement has been made or argument
advanced TO let the public Into an under.
standing Of the aituatiou. !. .4,, ~
It has seemed tha. We were about to
leap to the front with renewed energy to
make ct Wheeling aud its neigh borhood
all that can be msde. Very much Of the
hope Of ths future hangs on the building
oil union railroad bridge. Here, after
long waiting, is the capita! ready to do the
work on terms tho most reasonable. Tbs
terms are endorsed by our most conserva-
tive business men and by the sober judg-
ment OF tho community. We csn get no
better terms aud should not ssk for bet.
fer. Tho proposition submitted as from
the county is not batter and might lead to
incslculabls mischief.
What are ne going to do? Nothing?
This seems tho logical answer to the coun.
ter proposition. We do not believe that
this will be satisfactory to the people, who
are, 60 far ss any ybody can judge, heartily
in favor o! cloaiug the contract and going
ahead with the work. They know that 1t
will givs us new connections, and that the
very work Of construction will give en-
ployment and put into circulation here q
great deal Of money which otherwise we
should never see. It would be worso than
q bundsr to let clip go good a chance.
The spirit Of progress does not always
striya with community. The day comes
when capital regards as dead the people
which so atiffsna its neck that 1t cannot
be dealt with Oh any reasonable terms.
The committee Of the Council and the
committee OF the Chamber Of Commerce
which hnvs considered this matter would
no doubt be welcomed by the Commits.

know by what arguments tho measure

INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.

The Report Of Oonmlssionor Atkinson
transmitted to congress.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec. 2l.-The Pres.
ident to-day transmitted to Congress the
report Of Nj. Edward Atkinson, Of Mass.
schusetts, who he says "was specially
designated by me under the provisions Of
successive acts Of Congress to visit the
financial centres Of Europe in order to
ascertain the feasibility OF establishing bv
International standard fxity OF raIlo
between the two precious metals in free
coinage Of both.n + h :,
Mr., Atkinson summarized the resultso OF
his inquiries under iour heads, as follows;
"tlsst-Ihera is 10 prospect Of any
change in the pIeeent monetary syutem OF
the European States which can modify
OF influence the financial policy Of The
United States at the present time,n lI7
sSecond-There are no iu1icationa NJ
any change in the policy in the financial
authorities Of the several States visited BY
me which warrant any expectation that
tho subject OF q bl-metallic treaty for a
common legal.tender, coupled with the
FREQ coinage Of silver, will be seriously
considered at the present time by them.
Third-There 10 no indication that the
subject OF hi.metallic has received any in.
tell!gent or aerioua consideration outside
Of q small circle in each country named
as 3 probable or possible remedy for the
existing causes Of alleged depression in
trade. 3, q, . ,.s5 }5i;3 = y, 5S1GIsT7l5.
q Fourth-There ia no considerable uoliti.
cally organized body Of influential per.one
In either country with whom compina-
ton could bo made, II such q combination
or corporation were desirable on the
part OF similar body in the United
States, for promoting any definite or
practicable measured Of legialation TO bring
about the adoption Of the bi.metallic
theory according to the common accepted
meaning OF that term. Tho discussion is
as yet almost wholly personal and without
concentration OF purposs or the presenta.
ton OF any woll advised measure capable
oi being acted upon" e 5I,a25 3l ...I Ts'i
Mr. Atkinson'e most important con-
clusion from his observations 4 Is that 1t
would be unWise and ine1pedient for the
Uuitod States again to take the initistory
! infpromoting action for general adoption
